Here’s my gold Easter yarn before washing:
And after washing and drying:
It fluffed up, although it’s not very soft.
In other spinning news, I realized I’m so close to my goal of spinning all my stash (as of Jan 2014!) this year! I only have three spinning projects left, and it looks like I also have some dyeing to do. 🙂 The Merino will be nice and easy, the green is the last of the Easter dyeing session (rough fiber, but it turns out ok with effort), and the locks… I don’t know! I’ve never spun locks, and they’ve just been hanging out in my stash, waiting for me to be ready for them. I’ll just have to jump in and try spinning them!

almost through your stash?! better buy more quick!! 😉
Well, the goal was to spin the stash acquired as of January 2014, so I have more now than I did at that time, thanks to Stitches and Pinkviking! Hmm, time for a full disclosure post….
